Republicans turn back Democratic challenge in Concord

CONCORD — Republicans averted the first Democratic challenge in years, as GOP incumbents Dominic Cappelli Jr. and Libby Salvucci were returned to their supervisor seats and Lisa Dort was re-elected as tax collector.

Cappelli, who defeated Dan Levin, will serve a two-year term, while Salvucci, who topped Dan Foster, will continue with a six-year stint. Dort, opposed by Susan Huffington, will have another two-year term.

The central issues of Cappelli's platform were continued expansion and preservation open space, developing a unified trail system and fiscal reasonability. Salvucci noted the need for improved communication with residents via the township website and ensuring the municipality is spending its funds wisely. She has also stated her opposition to changing the zoning of the Woodlawn Trustees parcel.
